What do you have on the "Images" tab of your zm options?
Try with CAN_STREAM = yes, STREAM_METHOD = jpeg and OPT_CAMBOZOLA = unthicked

thanx for reply!

I tried and it didn't work..
I think it's more of a server problem...

found the problem

/dev/video0 couldn't be read by everyone
"chmod 666 /dev/video0" was solution for me.
